Hi everyone. Just wanted to get some opinions on what to look for to determine the authenticity of a used and completed UCS set. Specifically referring to the ISD. Is there anything I should look out for to ensure that the set is legitimate? For instance I know that there are 28 magnets used to build set and obviously the sticker should be made available (although I've heard of people printing these) Any thoughts would be appreciated Thanks

I think it may be too late but will definitely keep my eyes peeled. A lot of places don't ship to Canada for whatever reason which really compounds the difficulty in getting my hands on a lot of pieces.

Also what I was thinking as well. I suppose there is time left to build the xwing stock. However for fun I was looking at a 7965 MF. I believe everyone should have that on display regardless. As for the SSD I haven't been able to find one other than secondary market. If I have to go there for a UCS piece it's going to be the Imperial Star Destroyer or MF.

Hi New to the site. Thought I'd initiate myself through this thread. Bought the R2 set yesterday and have been tossing around the idea of getting the DS or allocating the funds instead to purchasing a couple more R2 units or Red Five X-Wings. From an investment point of view I'm not sure how much the DS will appreciate relative to either the R2 or X-Wings. Would love to read any opinions you folks may have on this Thanks
